Executive Summary

Migrating to Microsoft Windows 7 can be an intimidating task. One want to take advantage of how Windows 7 will help make users productive anywhere with enhanced security and control, but how does one implement an efficient, cost-effective migration that doesn't disrupt end-user productivity? While challenging, migration also presents an opportunity. It's the perfect time to wipe the slate clean; to implement standard configurations and structured change management procedures that will help ensure the long-term rewards that come from a manageable, sustainable environment. Symantec has migrated more than 300 million desktops and notebooks to Windows 2000, XP, Vista and now the Windows 7 operating system.
